Madden NFL 15 takes to the next-gen gridiron today

Although EA Access members have had, pardon the pun, limited access to Madden NFL 15 for the past week, this year's football title is finally available to the general public.

Released today for PS4, Xbox One, as well as last-gen systems, Madden NFL 15 features a slew of improvements including a revamped defense powered by an arsenal of new pass rush moves and tackling mechanics, as well as an improved playcalling system. There's also a number of visual improvements inspired by classic NFL Films presentations. And for you newcomers, there's an improved Skills Trainer that not only teaches you the game, but football strategy as well.

"Madden NFL 15 has taken a huge leap forward in so many areas, including the visuals, new presentation and defensive gameplay," said Cam Weber, VP and Group GM at EA SPORTS. "But what I'm most pleased with is how the whole package hangs together as a cohesive, high quality experience. I think people are going to love it."
